What happens when three old friends in crisis fall into an unexpected love triangle? In The Catch, Maya, Henry and Daniel embark upon an emotional journey that forces them to confront unresolved pain, present-day traumas and powerful desires, leading them to question the very meaning of love and fulfillment. The Catch tells a tale of ordinary people seeking the extraordinary – or, if that’s asking too much, some damn peace of mind.

Hello Jon, I think I like this.

By the way, I assume this goes without saying but in case it doesn’t, every Dodger Thoughts thread is an open chat thread.

This also reminds me of my favorite all-time restaurant sign.

My favorite was on the message sign at Twohey’s in Alhambra: “Soup is hash, only looser”

It reminds me of the Monty Python sketch in the cheese shop that doesn’t have any cheese.

“Trouble with the Curve,” as a title, telegraphs the Timberlake-Adams romance nicely.
Jon Weisman
Or does it mean maybe Justin’s not a straight shooter, Peyronie’s-wise?

Depending on how much trouble that curve is, he might literally be bringing sexy back.

Telegraphing a curve usually winds up as a hit.

I am the Michael formerly known as miketink and I don’t know how to change my posting name.

Looks like you logged in via Yahoo, so I’m guessing you would change it wherever you edit your Yahoo profile. Alternatively, you can create a disqus account, and edit your profile on disqus.com.

Mine was taken and I didn’t like the ESPN name I was forced to take.

Long live Dodger Thoughts! I still wear my t-shirt with pride (usually while mowing my lawn).

Question. How do new comments load here? Do you need to refresh or does it do it automatically?I’m liking the interface so far.
